Offshore
winches
We understand the offshore industry’s ever growing demand for
operational flexibility and increased equipment reliability. MacGregor offers
solutions designed to reduce operational costs and expand the operational
envelope on all fronts. That means longer hours, more days, in moredemanding conditions, while maintaining safety, reliability and efficiency with
top precision.
Main winches
Electric anchor handling- and towing winches aredesigned with the latest version of variable frequency
electric drives and advanced technology for safe, reliable
and cost efficient anchor handling- and towing jobs. They
offer a wide range of smooth speed controls including
high-speed operations. With optimised control softwareand minimised inertia of the drive units, the winches
provide excellent constant tension capabilities for anchor
handling and towing operations. Hydraulically operated,water cooled multi disc-brakes allow dynamic lowering
at high speeds and high loads. Length and tension
monitoring, electronic maintenance plans and remotediagnostics are also available as additional options.
Secondary winches
Electric secondary or storage winches offer a hugestorage capacity for large diameter steel wire or synthetic
ropes that have considerably lower specific weightcharacteristics than steel wire. The winch drives haveadapted advanced variable frequency drive technology,
which offers smooth control of the tension and speedof the winches. A freshwater-cooled and hydraulicallydriven multi-disc brake can be fitted to offer a significantly
increased speed for dynamic braking.
All winches are also available with low pressure hydraulicdrives.

Emergency release and peak load clutch
Emergency release by the use of our proved and praised
innerfriction clutch offer a clear and improved benefit in
critical operational situations. Furthermore the system
offers complete control over the maximum torque in drive
train to reduce stiffnes and peak loads. All electricallydriven main anchor handling and towing winches as well
as secondary winches are equipped with this system.
Chain handling winches
Electric chain handling winches have variable frequency
drives and allow for the safe use of various chain sizes bylimiting the load on the chain to a preset value. They canbe supplied as portable units with taylormade foundation
for installation in chain locker hatches. Chain guide rollers
and adjustable guide rollers for various chain sizes arealso available.
Chain wheel manipulator
Chain wheel manipulators are remotely-controlled
systems, specifically designed to perform continuous
successive cycles of chain wheel installation/replacement
when necessary, onto an anchor handling/towing winch
while the vessel is at sea even in adverse weather
conditions. CWMs substantially reduce the necessity
for heavy manual labour, ensuring the cost efficiency ofoperations and the safety of personnel and equipment.
The system is designed in compliance with DNV’s Rules
for Certification of Lifting Appliances, 2008.

AHC subsea
cranesMacGregor range of semi-electric or hydraulic active heavecompensated subsea cranes is designed for safe and accurate offshoreand deepwater subsea lifting operations, including offshore construction
and subsea installation, deck- and ship-to-ship lifts in most severe
offshore environments.
General description
Utilizing the finest and most reliable MRU (Motion Reference Unit), position sensors and control system, MacGregor
cranes provide top-precision active heave compensation for the vertical heave motion of the vessel directly through thecrane’s winch. AHC directly on crane’s winch vs. traditional AHC cylinder compensation allows for most accurate lifts
without the limitation of cylinder stroke assures more accurate wave stroke compensation vs. traditional AHC cylinder
compensation. MacGregor cranes are delivered with a complete electro-hydraulic power unit (HPU) fully enclosed
and mounted in the cranes’ king structure. AHC, auto-tension and auxiliary winch and tugger winch functions areintegrated within a powerful and intuitive control system, assuring precision and safety of critical operations.
State-of-the-art, in-house developed, large screen-based PLC system (Programmable Logic Controller) allows crane
operator to have full control of crane’s functions, ensuring total safety of critical lifting operations at different sea statesand operating positions, reducing the possibility of overloading the crane at any given radius. MacGregor subsea
cranes deliver this safety feature in accordance with all the latest class requirements for MOPS (Manuel OverloadProtection System) and AOPS (Automatic Overload Protection System).

Safe
deckhandling
Safety is a pivotal aspect of any work and is especially important in challenging
and ever-changing conditions. The Triplex Safe Deck Handling products not
only allow you to keep your workers safe, but ensure the maximum safety ofyour cargo and crew.

Shark jaws and towing pins
Triplex Shark jaws/towing pins are designed to meet themost stringent offshore standards, including those set by
the Norwegian Maritime Directorate. The designs have
Det Norske Veritas and American Bureau of Shipping
Type approval. Shark jaws are used to secure chainsor wires during anchor handling operations. A wide
range of insert plates, made from abrasion-resistantand highly durable materials, are provided and are easilyinterchangeable for handling various chain sizes. A wire
lifter is provided between the jaws to secure the wire
socket in the top position. The angular-type towing pins
have a simple design and strong construction, easily
trapping the chain or wire when the pins meet at the top.
Rollers are provided along the pin body to reduce friction
when handling the chain or wire. Towing pins can also be
provided in a vertical type.

Multi deck handlers
The Triplex branded Multi Deck Handler is the ultimate
lifting equipment for all large anchor handling vessels.
The large lifting and pulling capacity allows for the safe
handling of large anchors, buoys and chains on deck of
the vessel by “deck-hands”. The MDH has revolutionized
the safe handling of anchors at sea by controlling thespin-out of wires by a dedicated wire-clamp, remotecontrolled buoy catching as well as catching the pennant
wire by remote control all from a safe distance to thehandler.
Cargo rail cranes
MacGregor shipboard cranes of luffing, knuckle-jib andtelescoping type are designed for safe and accurate
deck lifts onboard ships and offshore installations, andcargo handling within harbors. The cranes may bedelivered with safe working load of up to 20 tons andvarious slew bearing dimensions and height of pedestal
to accommodate operational requirements and industry
regulations. MacGregor shipboard cranes may bedelivered in Cargo-rail version, mounted onto our cargorail vehicle trolley system, the cranes can travel along thecargo rail covering the entire length of the aft deck.Triplex
Cargo Rail Cranes offer reliable and effective methods oflifting and moving cargo for offshore vessels.

Rescue davits
Rescue and work-boat davits including pivoting and telescoping types are available for handling small or large
daughter craft including MOB and other rescue boats. SOLAS approved davits incorporate emergency backup
power systems for guaranteed operation even during dead-ship conditions. Davits can make use of optional shock
absorbers, heave compensation and/or constant tension features for safer handling in severe weather conditions
and for heavy boats. An associated towing boom (slewing, luffing or telescoping) with optional jigger winch keeps
the boat under control during launch and recovery.

We can supply a robust G-type davit, especially suited for operations in rough conditions. Our T-type davit has
a compact design which allows for installation in hangar with limited height and/or depth. The space-saving designof this telescoping davit leaves the vessel deck and bulkhead clear, supporting the davit only by the overhead ship’sstructure. MacGregor A-type davit is a cost-efficient alternative that offers proven performance and reliability.

Deck machinery andauxiliary systems
Winches, windlasses and capstans are generally supplied with power packs and control systems as a complete
package. Hydraulic ringline connections, electric or air motors are also available. Our winches hold the ship safely
in position berthed at pier and windlasses secure it while anchored at sea. Integrated winch, windlass and capstan
systems are available to provide maximum flexibility for all types of line and chain handling. Our Hatlapa and Pusnes
branded deck machinery serves the needs of any IMR/OCV.

Compressor (L90, L140, L160)
Our Hatlapa branded air compressor can be used for starting air, service
air and control air. Every compressor is put through its paces on a modern
test bench, and all well-known classification societies are present on aregular basis to carry out testing procedures.

Steering gear
The steering gear controls the rudder that turns the ship while in motion.
Our Hatlapa and Porsgrunn branded rotary vane steering gear iscompact and suitable for the smallest compartments.
